And it was funny because I don't know if I was a very good speaker. But what I remembered when I was swimming around in that was like that claustrophobic, that internal claustrophobia of like in the chest and in the head and like maybe in your stomach, where it's like there really is all of this creative energy that wants to come out, that has been responded to with drugs and alcohol and any other, like evasive behavior, where you're just I have to escape.
Art has a unique way of touching our souls, and for Sarah Kappos and Phil Millerberg, it's a lifeline in their recovery journey. In this episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', they dive into the transformative power of artistic expression in the healing process. The 'Own It' movement, which they spearhead, brings people together in gritty, raw settings where honesty and creativity flow freely.
Picture a room where individuals step up to a microphone and share their truths, no matter how messy or beautiful they might be. This is where real connections are made, and where recovery finds a voice. Sarah and Phil, both on their own paths to recovery, share how the 'Own It' performance arts movement has become a sanctuary for many.
They believe that everyone has a story worth telling and that artistic expression is a powerful tool for facing fears and building community. The microphone isn't just a prop; it's a symbol of courage and vulnerability. In their shows, participants aren't just performers—they're survivors finding strength in their shared experiences. Sarah emphasizes that creativity is essential in recovery. Many people battling addiction are artists at heart, yearning for an outlet to express their pain and hope.
Through 'Own It', they find a stage where they can be heard and supported. The energy in these performances is palpable, with the audience responding not just with applause but with empathy and understanding. This episode is a testament to the healing power of art and the importance of community in recovery. Sarah and Phil's journey is inspiring, showing that through artistic expression, people can find new ways to care for each other and themselves.
